MySims
A life sim that strips away The Sims' complexity for pure charm and customization, perfect if you want to decorate and befriend NPCs without managing bills.
GamerScout Verdict
A charming but shallow life sim that prioritizes coziness and decoration over The Sims' strategic depth, good for wind-down sessions, not invested playthroughs.
Compare Prices(6 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About MySims
MySims trades the micromanagement grind of The Sims for a lighter, faster-paced life builder focused on decoration, relationship-building, and creative expression. You design your home, customize your character, complete simple tasks for townsfolk, and slowly unlock new furniture and decorative options. The progression feels rewarding in short bursts, and there's genuine appeal to the art style and character interactions if you're not chasing deep simulation mechanics. The trade-off is shallowness. Relationships unlock in a linear path, activities repeat predictably, and there's no real complexity to master. It's a game for relaxation over engagement, fine if that's your goal, but anyone wanting The Sims' depth or modern life sim design will feel underserved. Metacritic sits at 70, which feels fair: a solid, pleasant time killer that doesn't push any boundaries.
